THEMIS two‐point measurements of the cross‐tail current density: A thick bifurcated current sheet in the near‐Earth plasma sheet
The basic properties of the near-Earth current sheet from 8 RE to 12 RE were determined based on Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) observations from 2007 to 2013. Ampere's law was used to estimate the current density when the locations of two spacecraft were suitable for the calculation. A total of 3838 current density observations were obtained to stu...
متن کاملFirst current density measurements in the ring current region using simultaneous multi-spacecraft CLUSTER-FGM data
The inner magnetosphere’s current mapping is one of the key elements for current loop closure inside the entire magnetosphere. A method for directly computing the current is the multi-spacecraft curlometer technique, which is based on the application of Maxwell-Ampère’s law. This requires the use of four-point magnetic field high resolution measurements. The FGM experiment on board the four Clu...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Porosity, Installation Angle, Thickness and Second Layer of Permeable Obstacles on Density Current
This study explored the effect of porosity and installation angle, thickness (dimension) and second layer of permeable obstacles on density current control and trapping in the laboratory. For this purpose, an insoluble suspended polymer and two types of groove and cavity obstacles made from plexiglass sheets were selected. The experiments were conducted with two different concentrations, five d...
متن کاملCurrent sheet flapping motion and structure observed by Cluster
[1] Fast vertical flapping oscillations of the plasma sheet have been observed by Cluster on September 26, 2001. The flapping motion had vertical speeds exceeding 100 km/s, an amplitude in excess of 1 RE and a quasiperiod of 3 min. The current sheet was mostly tilted in the Y-Z plane (with the tilt sometimes exceeding 45 ). The waves had the properties of a kink mode and propagated toward the d...
متن کاملAnalyses on the Geometrical Structure of Magnetic Field in the Current Sheet Based on Cluster Measurements
The geometrical structure of the magnetic field is a critical character in the magnetospheric dynamics. Using the magnetic field data measured by the Cluster constellation satellites, the geometrical structure including the curvature radius, directions of curvature and normal of the osculating planes of the magnetic field lines within the current sheet/neutral sheet have been investigated. The ...
